Very well done videos that run you through what makes a John Page guitar a John Page guitar. Upon looking at the order page, the asking price seems more than reasonable for a guitar that has had all the benefits of John's accumulated skills go into the design, and as with most high end versions of Leo's orig. concept, its the little improvements that make the big difference. At this price point, I'm fairly certain John Page will get the attention of players who are looking for a step-up in guitar quality, for as little wallet pain as possible. Looks to be a well above average, first rate execution of a classic electric guitar concept. Wishing John Page only good things on his venture.

I'm sure that many copies making S-style and T-style knock offs have good designers and know how at the top level. Seems like the actual problem is with using the cheapest possible parts and labor to mass produce guitars.

I think their simplicity and perfect versatility constitute the genius in Leo Fender's creative works. I doubt if a derivative of any of his designs will necessarily be better than the originals as far as specs go, unless superior craftsmanship is involved in, say, fretwork or set-ups, which to me seems unlikely to happen in any mass production scenario. In all due respect, if I were a Strat person, I'd just get a Strat that I liked and take it to a good tech for an overall fret and nut check-up, then set it up, and that would be it, rather than seek slightly modified alternatives in wishful thinking.

Love it, if I had the cash and was looking for a new guitar I'd grab one in a heartbeat vs. all of the standard strat types out there. It's less than many builders who are making clones with run of the mill parts (Warmoth, USACG, etc...)

Personally i'd much rather go with a fender MIJ. I ordered a gorgeous 62 custom tele from ishibashi recently and paid $683 shipped and i assure you these Page guitars are not better made aside from maybe the switch and pickups. In fact, the closeup of the truss rod channel looked a but sloppy unlike anything you'd ever find on a current MIJ fender. Plus when you buy a non standard design like that good luck selling it. I've tried to sell non traditional models many times and it's an exercise in futility, while a fender will sell easier/quicker and for less of a loss.
